I think this is amazing. The enemy pieces in the foreground look so ominous compared to the little worn pawn, with his allies abandoning him and making him go on alone. Okay, maybe a little dramatic but I really do love this. +fav.

Nice! (yeah this comment isn't helpful at all but I can't think of anything inspiring to write). Or maybe, I get a bit "dizzy" because you've blurred the blackthingies but not the chessboard. If you get what I mean.. hmm.. lol, anyway, it's a nice shot

This is really cool. I love the game of chess and I think this is a great shot. I guess there could be more pieces in the foreground, but it really isn't necessary. Compositionally, I like it. It suits the description well. Also, the lighting, colour, and focus is well done. Great job!

you know this is one of my favorite pieces i have done in a long while. its symbolic, technical and pleasing to the eye. so i really appreciate hearing that it is " AWSUM AWSUM AWSUM!!!!" from another person.

Chess ... such a fun subject. I love the checker patterns on a chess board. I love how everything surrounding the little pawn are out of focus. The clarity and texture work so well in this picture. Very nice!

you see.. i was tring to, but every time i went down to the angle were i could get the enemy pieces i could see out into the background and it kinda made the shot look cheesy. if the background was black, then it would work out.
